WE MEET AGAIN - Coventry Sphinx

WE MEET AGAIN – COVENTRY SPHINX


Coventry Sphinx joined Coleshill in the Midland Combination Premier Division from the Coventry Alliance for the 1995/96 season and the two teams have being doing battle pretty much every season since. The exceptions being 2000/01 when Coleshill had a season in Division 1, and 2007/08 when Sphinx stepped up to the Alliance a year ahead of Coleshill. Sphinx are a club I’ve always admired, they seem to get the off the field things right. They have a lovely club house, the pitch is always in great nick, they have loads of helpers on match day, and they have a great programme and web site. They do have the advantage of being the senior Non-League side in Coventry so they have the pick of the talent from a very large catchment area and because of that they have done really well in the Alliance apart from this year. They currently lie in 14th place, which is probably a bit disappointing for them but I think they are just far enough away from the relegation fight going on beneath them! Sphinx are only three places above Coleshill but nine points better off! So not a six pointer but with back to back wins behind them Town will be confident of getting something from this game! Coleshill’s record against Sphinx isn’t too good as the All Time Record shows. Sphinx have done the double over Town six times whereas Town have only ever done the double over Sphinx once, in 2009/10, although the Colemen did beat Sphinx at their place earlier in the season so maybe we can improve on that record tonight!
